ventilator induced lung injury (vili)

What are the Risk Factors for Developing VILI in Pediatrics?

Several risk factors can predispose pediatric patients to VILI, including:
- High ventilator settings (high tidal volumes and pressures)
- Prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation
- Preexisting lung conditions (e.g., congenital diaphragmatic hernia, meconium aspiration syndrome)
- Immature lung development in premature infants
- Inadequate surfactant levels
